Napoléon2002

Napol?on:
Excuse this dreadful mud, Holy Father, but it's been raining so much lately.

Pope Pius VII:
I've always wondered if the Pope, like his Divine Master, could walk on water. I cannot, evidently. But I do have other powers.

Napol?on:
Such as crowning me Emperor?

Pope Pius VII:
Yes, but also marrying you.

Napol?on:
Marrying me? But I am married!

Pope Pius VII:
During our long and tedious journey, one of my Cardinals told me that you and the future Empress have not been united before God.

Napol?on:
Well, that may be true, but our civil marriage is no less valid.

Pope Pius VII:
To me, it is meaningless. But rest assured, I shall be delighted to bless your union before God.

Napol?on:
I have no intention of getting married a second time.

Pope Pius VII:
Well, unfortunately, I cannot crown a man Emperor, who is living in a state of Sin.

Napol?on:
Very well, then, a discreet ceremony - without unnecessary witness.

Pope Pius VII:
When one has the Pope as a witness, Sire, no-one else is necessary.
